HOUSEHOLD NOODLE CUTTER.

Application led October 26, w21.

.To c-ZZ whom may concern Be it known that l, Bonner lxsrn. a citi- 01 the Unite-d States. residing at Cl icago, in the county or Cool; and State ci lllinois. have invented a certain new and useful lmprovemcnt in Household hl oodle Cutters, el: which the following a nfullT clear, concise. and exact description. reiter ence being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ot this specification.

My invention relates to household noodle cutters and has to do more particularly with the provision of such adevice compact oif construction, simple in operation and cheap to manufacture. The various features ot construction will be more particularly reH ierred to throughout the en. ling si-:} ecihca-A tion and appended claims.

For a better understanding of my invenu tion, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. l is vertical cross section through the middle of the device as along the line l l of Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is a back vieu' of Fig. l, that is assuming the handle to be at the iront;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view along the line 3 3 of Fig. l; and

Fig. t is a transverse sectional. vie f along the line 4 4 ot Fig. 8.

Now as to the detailed construction oi the preferred orm oi my invention as shown herein, it comprises a casing' L having trout and rear sections 5 6 respectively, the frontA section 5 acting as a :trame for supporting the operating mechanism, The rear Wall or section 6 is detachably secured to the other` section by means of screws 2l so that this Wall 6 may be readily applied and removed.

This operating mechanism includes a reciprocatable knife 7 clamped between the halves 8 9 of a cross bar connected by means of a connecting rod l() with a' crank shaft ll. This crank is rotatablyv mounted o in the bearings l2 l in the iront and rear sections of the casing A and is lreared to the manually operated handle l/l "brough the gears l5-l6 ot a suitable ratio, two to one being shown.

NOW as to the mounting for the knife 7, this includes a pair of studs l7 l8 rigidly secured to the cross bar 8 9 and slidingly carried in the lugs 19 20 preferably cast as extensions from the casing.

In order to feed the noodle roll to the device I preferably provide a chute 211: which Serial No. 510,48.

is adjustably siu'jriorted by a link 25 so that the chute mar be tilted to various angles by simply lifting up the notched link 25 and adjusting the chute to the desired angle. This chute extents through an openingl in the irear or the casing i. the said open` ing being l enough to permit oi sutlicient adjustment olf the chute and the supporting olf the noodle roll 34 (indicated bv dotted lines) thereon. 'y ln order to readily cut the strips to desired Widths l provide an adjustable spring metal stop 26 preferably carried with the knife so as to more readily tree the severed portion as the knife is reeiprocated. This stop 26 is rigidly attached to the cross piece 9 and has a knurled thumb screiv 28 passing therethrough and threaded into the knife4 blade 7. The screw head extends through slot 29 in the casing so as to be readilv adjustable. Thus, as the screw 28 is rotated to the right or left7 the stop 2G is adjusted toward and away from the shearing edge of the blades. i

ln order to suitably support the cutter l preferably provide a clamping bracket 3C- adapted to be secured to a table or shelt1 so as to raise the cutting mechanism sufiiciently above the table to place a suitable pan as 3l, thereunder. The bottom or the enclosing casing is left open for the ejection oit the severed portions oi: the strip and l pro` vide a deflector 82 preferably in the 'term of an extension of the casing so as to cause the cut-off noodle portions to fall into the dish 3l.

rlhusE in the operation ot the device it is first secured to a table or shelf With the stop 26 adjusted to cut a strip of the desired Width. l pan 3l is then placed beneath the opening Sdiat the botto'sn oi the casing and the chute 241. adjusted. rthe noodle roll'll is noiv placed upon the chute 24 and allowed to slide down into engagement with the stop 26 after which the handle le is operated to reciprocate the suite 7 therebyY shearingv o'l'l' the noodle strips as the roll :uitomatically descends or is t'ed by hand.

.Vhat l claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

l. ln a noodle-cutter oi the character described, a casing, a handle operated gear driven crank rotatably mounted Within the casing, a knife reciprocatably mounted Within the casing and operatively connected with said crank, a feed-chute for feeding the
